Pretoria people: Earlier this morning no less than 4 vehicles were spiked at Fountains' circle on the road to OR Tambo airport (R21).
I drove that road earlier this week in the evening, and could not help noticing that the whole area has ideal conditions for spiking, lots of bush where illegals and boslaapers live, restricted interconnects and some areas on the roads are either very poorly lit or not at all.
Please be careful folks, try to avoid the area, especially after dark and early mornings.

This might be the BEST PIZZA I've ever had in Johannesburg 🥳 I know that's a big statement but after visiting NAPZ in Rosebank recently, I think their Neapolitan Margherita jumps to the top of a quality competitor list🍕
I had no clue this place existed until a good friend told me about the owner, Enrico, who spent two months training in Naples under the organisation that protects traditional Neapolitan pizza. Think of it like champagne only being allowed to call itself champagne if it comes from that region. Same idea.
When someone cares enough about their craft to fly to Naples and learn it properly, I have to go visit. And obviously order three pizzas to put it to the test.
What I really liked about NAPZ is that they're not trying to be fancy. It’s a proper mom and pop shop run by Enrico and his wife Viviana.
This isn’t some pizza designed in a corporate boardroom. It’s a small family run business where the owners care deeply about their craft and heritage. And those are exactly the kinds of places we should be supporting.
Everything revolves around getting the fundamentals right. Dough fermentation, ingredients, temperature, process. All the little things that make a pizza good.
If you want to know a bit more about NAPZ, I would absolutely LOVE for you to watch the video we published recently but I’m not going to share the link. Just search for “Hungry & Shameless in SA” on YouTube and you’ll find it.
‼️ Please don’t watch the video unless you intend to watch the whole thing. We’re not chasing views at all costs. We want the videos to find the right audience ‼️
Most importantly, have any of you eaten at NAPZ before? And if you know of any soulful, owner run restaurants we should review next, drop them in the comments section below.

Entire stretches of roads are left in darkness. Add in the potholes, and driving at night - especially in the rain - becomes a guessing game. Residents report it, repeatedly, to streetlights@tshwane.gov.za… and hear absolutely nothing back.
English

@nasiphim Dear Madam Mayor, I’m guessing you don’t spend much time in the East of Pretoria. If you did, the sheer number of street lights that have been out for months - some for years - would be impossible to ignore.

@BankZeroSA any system issues? Waiting for an OTP (requested a few…) and none have arrived in 15 mins

Helen demonstrating that she has no idea how globally shipping works, that most cargo ships are privately owned, and registered in a small subset of countries. Which is why Iran said South African cargo not ships. Just her normal petty rants aimed at her ignorant fans.

Now, all we need is some ships! 😏

@thegolfeditor Was wondering if the crowd sang the entire anthem as only the middle (English) part was doing the rounds on SM.
English

Definitely amazing, Brad. Was there at 18 green when the fans started singing. It’s a national anthem involving multiple languages. Rainbow Nation, indeed.

Amazing scene. And oh BTW, after ultimately winning today’s playoff, Grapevine resident and SMU product Bryson DeChambeau appears to be priming for the Masters in 2 weeks, after dueling Rory McIlroy in last year’s final Sunday pairing.

@RamahlweJamai @view4you_sa Nope. WBC and SA Taxi were both subsidiaries of TC. TC spun off WBC and listed it separately. TC also sold SA Taxi a while back.

@abelmike @slingingshotssa That’s the way pizza sounds when pronounced in Neapolitan dialect. Lievita has the traditional Neapolitan pizza with the airy, puffy crust (cornicione). Thinner, crispy bases are more Roman style.
English

I agree they good, but my preference is always for a thin base, crispy pizza as opposed to New Haven style.
I watched a fascinating documentary on a BA flight recently, around the origins and iconic pizza places in New Haven like Frank Pepe 🍕 They say “apizza” when describing it, but it is pronounced “Abeetz”. I liked that.

Sea Point, You Beauty ❤️
A love letter - and thank you to my hood 🇿🇦
When I moved to the Sea Point area, about 35 years ago, the suburb was… well, more than a little tired.
Main Road felt grimy, the buildings had lost their shine, and the area had clearly seen better days. And many crappy restaurants.
Fast forward to today and Sea Point has pulled off one of Cape Town’s great urban glow-ups.
Walk down Main Road (or Regent Road for the old-school locals) and it feels like a neighbourhood that has rediscovered its confidence. Cafés humming, restaurants buzzing, people strolling with their dogs.
And the food scene? It’s extraordinary.
Start the day with breakfast.
For bagels and breakfast classics, Kleinsky’s remains a Sea Point institution. Sonny & Irene and Zest are also consistently excellent.
Best Eggs Benedict in the area? My vote goes to Zest.
Then there’s Arthur’s Superette in Arthur’s Road - a wonderful little gem where pretty much everything on the menu is delicious. Their spicy sardines on toast are one of those beautifully simple dishes done so well that you keep thinking about them long after you’ve left.
For coffee lovers, Sea Point is spoiled for choice. Jarryd’s, Sonny & Irene, Bootlegger, Norfolk Deli and Naked Coffee all deliver consistently great cups. Vida still makes a great coffee too. And Woolies cafe in St Jonhn’s Piazza. Great, wholesome and simple food.
If you want breakfast, lunch, sunset drinks or tapas with one of the best views in the neighbourhood, Hugo’s is hard to beat. Their tapas are great, and they also have surprisingly good meeting rooms and boardrooms available for small gatherings and work sessions. I’ve used them before and they work beautifully.
Mojo Market is a vibe. Spans pretty much everything, from fresh oysters to fantastic chicken wings, live music and buzz.
Poke Co does a mean bowl as does 3 Wise Monkeys. Una Mas next door, delicious. Best ceviche in CT.
For excellent curry, Sundoo by Seelan. Pretty good samosas too.
If you’re looking for something sweet later in the day, the gelato scene is world class. Pino Penguino at Gelato Mania and Moro Gelato (pistachio my best) are both outstanding.
When it comes to lunch and dinner, the variety is remarkable.
Seafood lovers are well looked after. Zest and Luuma by Pavel are superb, with NV80 a very strong contender. Kiki for incredible but posh Greek 🔥 Cozco & Mykonos for comfort Greek 🇬🇷
For steaks, Brad’s is consistently excellent. NV80 & Zest both great for meat too.
If you want a proper chicken prego roll, Jarryd’s does a great one. And slightly outside Sea Point in Green Point, Mano’s still makes the best chicken or beef prego in Cape Town. As does Stepbrothers - also in the Green Point hood.
For burgers, Brash Burgers is the winner.
Pizza lovers should head to Ariel’s for a superb one. Or Stepbrothers. And Lievita at the Waterfront paddle courts - great pasta too.
If you haven’t been to Arlecchino (Tashas’ new spot), do yourself a flavour (typo intended). The prawn roll on brioche and the ceviche are fantastic.
For comfort food like latkes and salmon, falafel, or Turkish gözleme, Cooked is always a treat. Great traditional foods and nosh, Kleinsky’s again.
And just down the road in Bantry Bay, Amare recently served me one of the most delicious Chicken Limone dishes I’ve had in years.
Sea Point is also brilliant for takeaways. MAKE always delivers excellent Asian food, and Chef Chen does great sushi - in fact there are plenty of good sushi options around the neighbourhood.
And thanks to Uber Eats and Mr D, you can pretty much have anything delivered to your front door within minutes.
What’s also been remarkable is the role developers have played in bringing Sea Point back to life. Companies like Berman Brothers, Blok and Signatura, have added thoughtful, beautiful developments that have lifted the entire area.
They haven’t just built buildings. They’ve helped restore the neighbourhood’s energy 👏👏

@OUTPointsmenPta could you kindly consider weekday peak hour pointsmen at intersection of DevilleBois Mareuil and Atterbury? It’s impossible to cross over DevilleBois (north) due to opposing vehicles blocking the intersection trying to turn from Atterbury towards Woodhill
